More about our guest
In 2014 Olga Yurovski invented Shopperations, a collaborative marketing planning software that makes marketers’ jobs more efficient and data-driven by standardizing and automating planning processes and enabling robust post-promotional analytics. She leveraged the insights she gained from her 15 years of experience in the CPG and consumer electronics industries working in Brand Management, Product Development, Category Management, Consumer Promotions, and Shopper Marketing roles.

Olga helps her clients recover productivity and bring transparency and accountability to their marketing teams. That’s why Shopperations’ clients like General Mills, Conagra, Mars Wrigley, and Riviana spend less time on back-office administrative tasks and have more time to focus on strategic and execution, and analytical aspects of their jobs.
